Chapter 213 Distinguished Guest Arrival
This was Yun Fuzhao's first time infiltrating the Xuantian Sect. As it was an enemy sect, she had to gather as much intelligence as possible.
Upon arriving at a certain place, she discovered that many disciples had gathered there.
As they got closer, they discovered they were discussing matters of the ghost realm.
"Have you heard? We're going to the Star Palace this time, which is the central city of the Ghost Realm!"
"We're so lucky! The disciples who went last time only wandered around outside. Hey, why did the Ghost Lord suddenly change his mind?"
"Is there even a need to guess? It must be because our sect leader has awakened the bloodline of a true god. Every force would be eager to curry favor with him."
They were having a heated discussion, which made things difficult for Yun Fuzhao.
Didn't we say we were just going to wander around the outskirts? Why did we end up in the central city? If we see the Ghost King, won't her disguise be immediately exposed?
Yun Fuzhao suddenly felt a little curious. Did this Ghost Lord know her true face? Everyone said that the Ghost Lord was arrogant, cold-blooded, and cruel. Such a powerful figure probably wouldn't remember her face, right?
As for sabotaging others, just leave that to your subordinates.
"Are you worried?"
Que hesitated to speak.
“Yeah,” Yun Fuzhao looked at him, “if either of us gets recognized, we’re both doomed, right?”
Que Chi chuckled, leaning slightly closer to stare at her, "You have the nerve to want to kill him?"
"Can't I just say something? Besides, I didn't intend to actually do anything to him."
She never planned to confront the Ghost King head-on. She's not stupid.
Yun Fuzhao hesitated, thinking of Que Chi's special status, and said, "Besides, you're in even more danger than me. If he catches you, your life will be in danger."
The more she thought about it, the more dangerous it seemed. She lifted her foot to go back, but Que Chi grabbed her arm.
"You're so worried about...me?"
Yun Fuzhao was somewhat puzzled. "Of course. What kind of relationship do we have?"
"what relationship?"
He seemed very curious about the answer, his eyes fixed on her intently, full of inquiry.
“An ally,” Yun Fuzhao gave him a strange look. “What’s there to ask?”
Que Chi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly lowered his head and laughed.
You're utterly useless, Que Chi.
Yun Fuzhao was completely baffled; she didn't understand the humor in those words at all. "Why are you behaving so strangely?"
Upon hearing this, Que Chi's smile vanished. "You're just a blockhead; you don't understand anything."
That familiar irony returned, and Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief. "In short, we need to think this through carefully."
"No need," Que Chi said. "Even if he finds out, I will stand in front of you."
“Emm,” Yun Fuzhao said honestly, “It seems like it doesn’t matter whether you block it or not.”
She might as well rely on Jiaoyu.
Que Chi: "...You can talk."
"Hehe, it's okay."
Que Chi pulled her aside impatiently, "Opening the Star Palace this time might not be a bad thing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Besides, the Blood Moon, which the Ghost Clan fears most, will soon arrive, greatly diminishing their cultivation. Then we can..."
He put his hand on his neck and made a throat-slitting motion.
Yun Fuzhao glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me about this secret sooner?"
"This is just the right time, place, and people."
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "In that case, let's try dying."
She also has the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill protecting her.
However, this kid in front of me wasn't so lucky.
If he were really discovered, he wouldn't have that many ways to save his life. If he really died, she would still be sad for a while.
“If something really happens, run if you can.” Yun Fuzhao looked at him. “I’ll cover for you.”
"..."
Que Chi remained silent.
Her eyes were clear and pure, without a trace of impurity. Just like the little deer he had raised long ago.
Que Yu could easily see the worry and concern in her eyes. He hadn't expected that Que Chi was so important to her.
Even though he was terrified himself, he still managed to say something like he'd cover for him...
A strange emotion rose in her chest. Que Yu knew very well that it was not a flutter of the heart, but something called jealousy and resentment.
It swelled and bulged, instantly taking over his entire heart.
He hid behind Que Chi's human skin mask, like a bedbug in a sewer spying on everything he possessed.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone in his environment cared for Que Chi deeply; he grew up surrounded by love.
Que Yu knew very well that everything he had today was earned through his own efforts. If he didn't become stronger, he would end up like Ping An, served at the dinner table and becoming Que Chi's food.
After all, among the twins of the demon race, only the winner can become the demon lord.
No matter how hard he tried, others seemed to care more about Que Chi. Even though he was clearly a foul-mouthed and malicious guy.
Que Yu ground his teeth impatiently, really wanting to bite her. He wanted to suck her blood dry so she wouldn't utter such infuriating and resentful words.
Que Yu struggled to keep her emotions from showing. "Then I definitely won't even turn my head."
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
As expected of you.
As they were talking, Yun Fuzhao saw Wen Yan and Yu Nian'er come out.
This was the first time Yun Fuzhao had seen Wen Yan after he awakened his ancient bloodline.
She scrutinized him closely; his aura was indeed different, his cultivation level...
Yun Fuzhao was taken aback. He had actually reached the Integration Stage?!
Is this the power of ancient bloodlines?
Just as she was thinking, Yun Fuzhao suddenly felt an undeniable gaze fall upon her.
It's Yu Nian'er.
Yun Fuzhao's heart tightened. Could he really see that?
However, she soon realized that she had been overthinking things.
Because Yu Nian'er stepped forward, blocking Yun Fuzhao's view and preventing her from seeing Wen Yan.
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
No, so this is to keep her at bay?
Seriously, female lead, not just anyone would be interested in your male lead, okay?
She wouldn't be so desperate as to eat anything.
Wen Yan: "Everyone, the Ghost King has opened the Star Palace. I hope this day trip to the Ghost Realm will be a pleasant experience for everyone!"
The disciples below cheered, "Sect Master is awesome!"
"Long live the sect master!"
"Hahahaha, to hell with the Boundless Sword Sect! The Profound Heaven Sect is the best!"
Yun Fuzhao was dissatisfied; why was this involving putting down one person while praising another?
When Que Yu saw her displeased little expression, a smile appeared on his lips, and his bad mood from before inexplicably dissipated a bit.
Soon, the group embarked on their journey to the Ghost Realm.
To Yun Fuzhao's surprise, the people from the Ghost Realm actually came to the gate of the Xuantian Sect to greet him in person.
The members of the Xuantian Sect were flattered and overwhelmed.
"No, has the Ghost King changed his nature?"
"Even the Boundless Sword Sect didn't receive this treatment back then; they still had to go to the Demon Realm on their own."
Wen Yan was also quite surprised and walked towards the leading envoy, "This is?"
The envoy exchanged a subtle glance with Que Yu, then said, "Our sovereign said that when distinguished guests visit, we must show them the utmost sincerity."
